懸吊裝置 Suspension device
如圖4中所見,電前懸吊裝置FS包含一第一懸吊管FS1、一第二懸吊管FS2、一閥結構FSV及一第一電致動器FSA。第一懸吊管FS1具有一中心軸A11。第二懸吊管FS2可伸縮地接納在第一懸吊管FS1中。閥結構FSV經組態以改變電前懸吊裝置FS之阻尼特性。第一電致動器FSA耦合至閥結構FSV以致動閥結構FSV。第一電致動器FSA經安裝在第二懸吊管FS2之一上端上。然而,第一電致動器FSA可提供在其他位置處。 As seen in FIG. 4, the electric front suspension device FS includes a first suspension pipe FS1, a second suspension pipe FS2, a valve structure FSV, and a first electric actuator FSA. The first suspension pipe FS1 has a central axis A11. The second suspension pipe FS2 is telescopically received in the first suspension pipe FS1. The valve structure FSV is configured to change the damping characteristics of the electric front suspension FS. The first electric actuator FSA is coupled to the valve structure FSV to actuate the valve structure FSV. The first electric actuator FSA is installed on one of the upper ends of the second suspension pipe FS2. However, the first electric actuator FSA may be provided at other locations.
在此實施例中,電前懸吊裝置FS具有解鎖狀態及鎖定狀態。閥結構FSV至少在解鎖狀態與鎖定狀態之間改變電前懸吊裝置FS之一狀態。在閥結構FSV之鎖定狀態中,第一懸吊管FS1在伸縮方向D1上相對於第二懸吊管FS2鎖定。然而,當來自地形之一大震動施加於電前懸吊裝置FS時,第一懸吊管FS1可在閥結構FSV之鎖定狀態中輕微地移動。舉例而言,藉由處於鎖定狀態之閥結構FSV之一閥(未展示)閉合閥結構FSV之一流體通路(未展示)。在閥結構FSV之解鎖狀態中,第一懸吊管FS1及第二懸吊管FS2可在伸縮方向D1上相對於彼此移動以吸收來自崎嶇地形之震 動。舉例而言,藉由處於解鎖狀態之閥結構FSV之閥(未展示)釋放閥結構FSV之流體通路(未展示)。第一電致動器FSA可操作地耦合至閥結構FSV以在解鎖狀態與鎖定狀態之間改變閥結構FSV之一狀態。用於自行車懸吊裝置之閥結構在自行車領域中係眾所周知的。因此,根據需要及/或期望,閥結構FSV可係任何類型之適合閉鎖裝置。 In this embodiment, the electric front suspension device FS has an unlocked state and a locked state. The valve structure FSV changes at least one state of the electric front suspension device FS between the unlocked state and the locked state. In the locked state of the valve structure FSV, the first suspension pipe FS1 is locked relative to the second suspension pipe FS2 in the telescopic direction D1. However, when a large shock from the terrain is applied to the electric front suspension device FS, the first suspension pipe FS1 can move slightly in the locked state of the valve structure FSV. For example, a valve (not shown) of the valve structure FSV is in a locked state to close a fluid passage (not shown) of the valve structure FSV. In the unlocked state of the valve structure FSV, the first suspension pipe FS1 and the second suspension pipe FS2 can move relative to each other in the telescopic direction D1 to absorb shocks from rough terrain move. For example, the fluid passage (not shown) of the valve structure FSV is released by the valve (not shown) of the valve structure FSV in the unlocked state. The first electric actuator FSA is operatively coupled to the valve structure FSV to change one state of the valve structure FSV between an unlocked state and a locked state. The valve structure for bicycle suspension devices is well known in the bicycle field. Therefore, according to needs and/or expectations, the valve structure FSV can be any type of suitable locking device.
電前懸吊裝置FS可具有解鎖狀態與鎖定狀態之間之一中間狀態。舉例而言,處於中間狀態之閥(未展示)處之流體通路(未展示)之一橫截面小於處於解鎖狀態之閥(未展示)處之流體通路(未展示)之一橫截面。 The electric front suspension FS may have an intermediate state between the unlocked state and the locked state. For example, a cross section of a fluid passage (not shown) at a valve (not shown) in an intermediate state is smaller than a cross section of a fluid passage (not shown) at a valve (not shown) in an unlocked state.
類似地,電前懸吊裝置FS包括一第三懸吊管FS3、一第四懸吊管FS4及一衝程調整結構FSAS。第三懸吊管FS3具有一中心軸A12。第四懸吊管FS4可伸縮地接納在第三懸吊管FS3中。 Similarly, the electric front suspension device FS includes a third suspension tube FS3, a fourth suspension tube FS4 and a stroke adjustment structure FSAS. The third suspension pipe FS3 has a central axis A12. The fourth suspension pipe FS4 is telescopically received in the third suspension pipe FS3.
在此實施例中,衝程調整結構FSAS經組態以改變電前懸吊裝置FS之一衝程。衝程調整結構FSAS經組態以在伸縮方向D1上於一長衝程位置與一短衝程位置之間改變第三懸吊管FS3及第四懸吊管FS4之一相對位置。衝程調整結構FSAS由使用者手動操作以改變阻力。用於自行車懸吊裝置之衝程調整裝置在自行車領域中係眾所周知的。因此,根據需要及/或期望,衝程調整結構FSAS可係任何類型之適合衝程調整裝置。 In this embodiment, the stroke adjustment structure FSAS is configured to change one stroke of the electric front suspension FS. The stroke adjustment structure FSAS is configured to change the relative position of the third suspension pipe FS3 and the fourth suspension pipe FS4 between a long-stroke position and a short-stroke position in the telescopic direction D1. The stroke adjustment structure FSAS is manually operated by the user to change the resistance. Stroke adjustment devices for bicycle suspension devices are well known in the bicycle field. Therefore, according to needs and/or expectations, the stroke adjustment structure FSAS can be any type of suitable stroke adjustment device.
第二懸吊管FS2及第四懸吊管FS4耦合至一架頂FS5。第一懸吊管FS1運用一耦合臂FS6耦合至第三懸吊管FS3。第一懸吊管FS1及第三懸吊管FS3可相對於第二懸吊管FS2及第四懸吊管FS4一體地移動以吸收震動。在閥結構FSV之解鎖狀態中,第一懸吊管FS1及第三懸吊管FS3可分別在伸縮方向D1上相對於第二懸吊管FS2及第四懸吊管FS4移動以吸收 來自崎嶇地形之震動。 The second suspension pipe FS2 and the fourth suspension pipe FS4 are coupled to a roof FS5. The first suspension pipe FS1 is coupled to the third suspension pipe FS3 by a coupling arm FS6. The first suspension pipe FS1 and the third suspension pipe FS3 can move integrally with respect to the second suspension pipe FS2 and the fourth suspension pipe FS4 to absorb shock. In the unlocked state of the valve structure FSV, the first suspension pipe FS1 and the third suspension pipe FS3 can respectively move in the telescopic direction D1 relative to the second suspension pipe FS2 and the fourth suspension pipe FS4 to absorb Vibrations from rugged terrain.
如圖3中所見,懸吊裝置18(電前懸吊裝置FS)進一步包含一閥位置感測器FSS。閥位置感測器FSS經組態以運用第一電致動器FSA感測閥結構FSV之狀態。在此實施例中,閥位置感測器FSS係一接觸式旋轉位置感測器,諸如一電位計。閥位置感測器FSS經組態以感測第一電致動器FSA之旋轉軸件之一絕對旋轉位置作為閥結構FSV之狀態。閥位置感測器FSS之其他實例包含一非接觸式旋轉位置感測器,諸如一光學感測器(例如,一旋轉編碼器)及一磁性感測器(例如,一霍爾感測器)。 As seen in FIG. 3, the suspension device 18 (electric front suspension device FS) further includes a valve position sensor FSS. The valve position sensor FSS is configured to use the first electric actuator FSA to sense the state of the valve structure FSV. In this embodiment, the valve position sensor FSS is a contact type rotary position sensor, such as a potentiometer. The valve position sensor FSS is configured to sense the absolute rotation position of one of the rotating shafts of the first electric actuator FSA as the state of the valve structure FSV. Other examples of the valve position sensor FSS include a non-contact rotary position sensor, such as an optical sensor (for example, a rotary encoder) and a magnetic sensor (for example, a Hall sensor) .

關於自行車電元件612,靈敏度改變器SC4在偵測器DT偵測到自行車10之操作狀態的狀態中藉由將第一帶通濾波器BPF1調諧至無線信號WS11、WS12A、WS12B、WS13、WS21及WS22而增大無線通信器WC之靈敏度。靈敏度改變器SC4在偵測器DT在第九臨限時間段尚未偵測到自行車10之操作狀態及/或無線通信器WC在第十臨限時間段尚未接收到無線信號的狀態中藉由將第一帶通濾波器BPF1調諧出無線信號WS11、WS12A、WS12B、WS13、WS21及WS22而減小無線通信器WC之靈敏度。相應地,可在自行車10未操作時減少無線通信,藉此在自行車10未操作時減小功率消耗。
Regarding the bicycle
如圖20中所見,靈敏度改變器SC之至少一個帶通濾波器BPF可包含複數個帶通濾波器BPF2及BPF3及一第三電開關BSW以經由代替第一帶通濾波器BPF1之一第二帶通濾波器BPF2及一第三帶通濾波器BPF3之一者連接接收電路RC與天線ANT。此一自行車電元件及此一靈敏度改變器SC分別被稱為一自行車電元件612A及一靈敏度改變器SC5。在靈敏度改變器SC5中,無線信號WS11、WS12A、WS12B、WS13、WS21及WS22傳遞通過第二帶通濾波器BPF2且無線信號WS11、WS12A、WS12B、WS13、WS21及WS22未傳遞通過第三帶通濾波器
BPF3。第二帶通濾波器BPF2及第三帶通濾波器BPF3電性連接至天線ANT。由自行車元件控制器CC基於由偵測器DT偵測到之自行車10之操作狀態而控制第三電開關BSW。
As seen in Fig. 20, at least one band-pass filter BPF of the sensitivity changer SC may include a plurality of band-pass filters BPF2 and BPF3 and a third electric switch BSW to replace one of the first band-pass filters BPF1 with a second One of the band pass filter BPF2 and a third band pass filter BPF3 is connected to the receiving circuit RC and the antenna ANT. This bicycle electric component and this sensitivity changer SC are called a bicycle
控制第三電開關BSW以在偵測器DT偵測到自行車10之操作狀態的一狀態中連接接收電路RC與第二帶通濾波器BPF2。相應地,靈敏度改變器SC(SC5)在偵測器DT偵測到自行車10之操作狀態的狀態中增大無線通信器WC之靈敏度。控制第三電開關BSW以在偵測器DT在一第九臨限時間段尚未偵測到自行車10之操作狀態的一狀態中連接接收電路RC與第三帶通濾波器BPF3。即,靈敏度改變器SC(SC5)經組態以在偵測器DT在第九臨限時間段尚未偵測到自行車10之操作狀態的狀態中控制至少一個帶通濾波器BPF(第三帶通濾波器BPF3)以阻擋無線信號。替代地或額外地,控制第三電開關BSW以在無線通信器WC在一第十臨限時間段尚未接收到無線信號的狀態中連接接收電路RC與第三帶通濾波器BPF3。即,靈敏度改變器SC(SC5)經組態以在無線通信器WC在第十臨限時間段尚未接收到無線信號的狀態中控制至少一個帶通濾波器BPF(第三帶通濾波器BPF3)以阻擋無線信號。在此修改中,靈敏度改變器SC5具有與靈敏度改變器SC4之功能相同的功能。
The third electric switch BSW is controlled to connect the receiving circuit RC and the second band pass filter BPF2 in a state in which the detector DT detects the operating state of the
在上文實施例中,自行車元件控制器CC經組態以控制無線通信器WC(例如,改變第一操作模式及第二操作模式)、屏蔽件致動器40、第一電開關WCSW、第二電開關GSW至第三電開關BSW、及可變增益放大器AMP之增益。然而,偵測器DT可經組態以代表自行車元件控制器CC來控制無線通信器WC、屏蔽件致動器40、第一電開關WCSW、第
二電開關GSW至第三電開關BSW、及可變增益放大器AMP之增益。
In the above embodiment, the bicycle component controller CC is configured to control the wireless communicator WC (for example, to change the first operation mode and the second operation mode), the
外殼28及電磁屏蔽件32、32m之形狀可不同於圖13至圖15中圖解說明之彼等形狀,只要其等之功能不改變。
